Hello and welcome to all!<BR><BR><BR>My name is Hobbituk but my friends call me Hobbi!<BR><BR>This is my adoption thread which I have been running for well over a year now. It's a place where I help out where I can in answering any questions my adoptees may have in regards to this amazing (and sometimes confusing) place called TORC (TheOneRing.com as it was formerly known) and making yet more fantastic friends!<BR><BR>So, if you want to be adopted by me, it doesn't matter who you are, you don't need to read the whole thread...just jump in and say hi!<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0><BR><BR>To tell you a little about me, Im just 19 years old and live in Yorkshire, England. In my spare time, when I am not at TORC, I read and write more than is good for me and I play drums in various bands.<BR><BR><BR>I have a keen interest in TORC's Collaborative writing (or Role Play)and in fact was named MALE ROLE PLAYER OF THE YEAR at the White Council Awards (TORC's recognition of outstanding posting) whilst one of the 'Threads' I wrote in won the award for Best Thread. <BR><BR>I'll be happy to give direction to anyone who fancies giving it a go.<BR><BR>Other than the RP at TORC I like to check out just about every area I can but the majority of my posts are made in The Bird and Baby and the Welcome Forum. I can also be spotted from time to time in the Movies forums and also Books. TORC means a lot to me, so much so that I have even met many members of this website face to face (well over 40 at the last count!)<BR><BR>so, if you want any help off a little hobbit who has been posting on this website for over three years, then come on in to my warm and homely house, make yourself comfortable, put your feet up and lets have a bit of a chinwag!<BR><BR>Hobbi's Adoptees Are...<BR><BR>1.

Don! Can I share a room with you? There are lots of us on that list you know. And perhaps since we didn't claim it, we should go for a smaller room, eh? Perhaps mom and dad want to biggest.<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0> Anyhoo, Just stopped by to welcome any newbies, mostly because I feel older every time someone else joins <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> Come on around fam, this place is roomy and clean and new and wundderful! YAY. Okay, that was momentary psychoness. Okaaay...

No worries Don, we figured it was 'technical difficulties'<BR><BR><BR><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> It was fun though <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Welcome everyone to the new house then! Make sure you all keep your bedrooms tidy and do your homework before watching TV! I should really sort out a washing up rota...

<i>Make sure you all keep your bedrooms tidy and do your homework before watching TV! I should really sort out a washing up rota... </i><BR><BR>Yes its about time some else did it!<BR>I mean I swear Child slavery was abolished years ago!<BR><BR>And my room is always tidy - its 'her' *nods head in Jae's direction* that insists on keeping every stone and shell she thinks is pretty and then 'convieniently' forgets to dust them!

Ehhhh.... Clean rooms...hmmm...<BR><BR>Maybe we can all get on again soon and have another fam gethering. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR><BR>-Don

<b>Don</b>, Hello how are you? I wanted to thnk you for welcoming me the other day<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> Remember you invited me to stop by and say howdy!<BR> Thanks for the friendliness,<BR> Donnamarie

Hey Donnamarie !!!<BR><BR>How is it going? Finding your way around TORC ok?<BR><BR>Good to hear from you. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>-Don

<b>~Don~,</b>I'm doing very well thank you, and your self? Yes I'm finding my way around alright I think. I really love this web site! There is so much to see and learn...I't is very addicting.<BR> Talk to you soon,<BR> Donnamarie

Hey guys<BR><BR>Just wanted to ask when it is that everyone comes online to chat on yahoo? <BR>It just would be good to get the whole family here and Jae always seems to miss it so if we all post times we can chat tonight and tomorrow we can have a major conference<BR><BR>What do you think?<BR><BR>Im around nearly all the time - just say the word, at worst it will mean having to kick my brother off.<BR><BR>Oh and a big welcome to Donnermarie!<BR><BR>Hope your enjoying yourself and feel free to ask any questions <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>We already have a Don so I think I shall call you - <BR>Marie - is that ok?<BR><BR>Hey did you know - well obviously you don't - but donna marie is my mothers first and middle name - how spooky <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif"border=0><BR><BR>

Ren, Hobb, Don and Lurea, It was so incredible talking to you last night. I'm still going through the shock of hearing your voices. Or at least MOST of them cough-DON!-cough. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> It will take me a day or two to get used to it all. I guess I'm an idiot. Oh well <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Also Ren, the time difference, five hours?!, makes it hard for me to find a good opportunity to get together with everyone. Tonight for example I don't think I'll be getting on before 2am your time. And isn't Jae an hour ahead of you? Eh. Tomorrow I can get on about 12:30 am for you. Don't you guys work and go to school and so on? It seems so silly to stay up until the wee hours of the morning. I may be able to get on during the day today or tomorrow, but it would be in half-hour blocks. <BR><BR>Where is Jae anyway? I haven't seen her around much. Where are you darlin'? Plus I don't know much about you Warden. When do we get to hear from you more? <BR><BR>Meh, I must be settling in more: look at me get all demanding...<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0><BR><BR>I guess that's all I have to say. Except this one other thing which is pretty much boring to all of you, but I must gloat. I found the dress my friend wants to get married in for $200 less than what she was planning on spending. It's a steal and I can't wait to show her. We're poor college students and a wedding dress for less than $100 is a miracle in itself. <BR><BR>Okay, now I'm done. Bye

Sorry Ren, I'm away for the weekend...won't be joining in any conferences until next week now<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Have fun everyone!<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> see you all Monday night/Tuesday morning!

<b>Don~,</b>I live in S.E. Missouri. I'm surrounded by cotton as far as the eye can see( when in season)soy bean fields, field corn. I live on a farm, yep just a country girl.<BR> Where do you live at? Is it warm or cold today?<BR>Talk to you soon,<BR> Donnamarie

Marie, We don't mind at all. I'm incredibly new still, but I already feel like I can speak for the bunch. That's just how it works here. We are tight.

Join the cult babe! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Hey look, I'm going to be getting my first jewel looking thing soon. heh heh. Yay. Is anyone going to be on tonight between 4 and 5pm? I might be able to chat. Also, Don did you figure out everything with your mic? I'd love to be albe to actually talk to you. By the way I don't think my mind has yet been found. This is going to be long weekend without Hobb. Maybe we should throw a party in his absence. We could trash the house!!!<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-devil.gif"border=0> <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0> Who's with me?<BR><BR>Ren, it's less than a month before I'm in England! eeee! and I have a question for all you Non-American Citizens: How excited are you about the academy awards? Are you at all? Do you care? ROTK better make some waves, yo. That's all I can say. <BR><BR>Oh dear, I have a class in 5 minutes. I gotta go. Bye.
